r TO: Mayor, City Council, and Clerk -Administrator FROM: Silt, Smith DATE: June 16, 1983 RE: Peterson property at 2294 Bronson Drive. On 6/10/83 1 contacted Mr. Glen Westerheim by phone and asked what I might do to help alleviate his problems. He stated that on Mrs. Peterson's property were two unlicensed vehicles. Ile also stated that, "on hot days, when the wind blew from the Southwest, there was an odor of dog manure." He went on to state that he certainly wished something could be done about these problems as he'd had nothing but problems over the years with Mrs. Peterson. He commented, in closing, that he was very happy with the service he'd received personally from me throughout the past fifteen years or so. I advised him that 1 would have Mrs. Stevens, the Community Service Officer, check out his complaint within the next half hour. Ile stated that he'd be home and that she could come into his back yard and observe the problem from his property line. I talked to Mrs. Stevens during the next half hour and told her that I wanted her to view the problem area and advise me of her findings. She returned to my office a short time later and reported that she'd found two unlicensed vehicles; one plate expired in 1982 and another expired on May 10, 1983. She also found two unlicensed dogs chained to stakes in the back yard. She stated that she could detect no odor of dog manure and could not see any telltale signs thereof. Mr. Westerheim asked to be notified of the action taken and if nothing could be done he was "either going to sell out or drop dead or something." I advised Mrs. Stevens to issue fourteen day warning citations to Mrs. Peterson for unlicensed vehicles and dogs. Mrs. Stevens attempted to contact Mrs. Peterson on a number of occasions and finally resorted to leaving warning notices and copies of the ordinances in the back door of the home. On 6/15/83, Mr. Westerheim was advised by Mrs. Stevens of the action taken and proposed remedies. He stated to Mrs. Stevens that he was very happy with the attention being given to the problem, Mrs. Stevens was unable to contact Mrs. Peterson but did, however talk to Mrs. Peterson's daughter in law. The daughter in law stated that the vehicles would most likely be removed from the property and the dogs would be licensed within the two week period.
